Following Up and Following Through

Good man. Good man.

I wrote a post about Jeff Conine and his Ironman contest. Just in case anyone cared, he finished the race in 14 hours, 43 minutes, and 45 seconds, which to me is just amazing. Jeff Conine, you are now my hero. Just for trivia's sake, he became the first Major League Baseball player to finish the Ironman.

As a side but important note, he did this for the "Bone Marrow Transplant Program at Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines as a tribute to his friend Howard Zimmerman, who lost his battle to cancer in November." The site for the place can be found here.
